Nyala as the Artist of the Year for 2017.

Nyala joined Renderosity in 2008. Now she has over 100 followers for her growing gallery of fantasy portraits and landscapes. Exotic and beautiful warriors, witches and elves are rendered with great attention to detail, especially lighting. Color is also something Nyala pays attention to as several of her portraits are suffused with bold primary colors. Her work is filled with emotion and feeling. It's one of the things that make her work stand out from other artists. Nyala lives in Germany with her husband and two children. She is a passionate reader particularly of the fantasy genre.

Big congratulations for being voted the Artist of the Year 2017 especially since she won in a field of very talented and strong artists.
